2021 Peugeot 3008 GT Puretech S/S Auto 1.2L Petrol · AO71 DHM

This 2021 Peugeot 3008 GT presents an unblemished roadworthiness record, with both recorded MOT examinations passed at the first attempt and not a single advisory item noted across either test. The most recent examination on 29 September 2025 returned a clean pass, mirroring the equally fault-free result from September 2024. For a vehicle now approaching five years of age, the complete absence of even minor advisories on items such as tyre wear, brake component condition, suspension bushes, or exhaust integrity is a strong indicator that the car has been maintained to a standard well above the legal minimum, and there is no historical pattern of developing defects to factor into a purchase decision. The recorded mileage of 33,611 miles equates to roughly 6,700 miles per year, which sits comfortably within the typical range for a UK vehicle of this age and suggests regular, moderate use rather than prolonged standing or heavy commercial-style accumulation. The interval between the two tests shows consistent use without any suspicious odometer anomalies or unexplained gaps in the testing record. This usage profile is mechanically favourable: the PureTech petrol engine and automatic gearbox will have seen regular thermal cycles and fluid circulation, while consumable items such as brake discs, pads, and tyres should reflect wear consistent with the odometer reading rather than premature deterioration from neglect or corrosion from long-term inactivity. Given the clean history, the buyer's focus should shift from defect-hunting to verification and forward-looking maintenance. On the test drive, confirm that the 1.2 PureTech three-cylinder engine pulls smoothly without hesitation or rattling from cold, as this engine family uses a wet timing belt running in oil that requires strict adherence to service intervals; request documentary evidence of oil changes and check whether the belt has been inspected or replaced per Peugeot's schedule, since this is the single most consequential maintenance item on this powertrain regardless of what the MOT record shows. Listen for any knocking or vagueness from the front suspension over broken surfaces and confirm the automatic gearbox shifts cleanly through all ratios without flare or shunt, particularly on light throttle in urban driving. Beyond the mechanical checks, verify that the service history is complete and stamped, that both keys are present, and that the tyres fitted are of a reputable brand with even wear across all four corners, which would corroborate correct alignment and suspension geometry. With two consecutive clean passes and typical mileage, this 3008 represents a low-risk purchase on the evidence of its official record, provided the wet belt service documentation checks out and the test drive reveals no drivetrain or suspension abnormalities that a standard MOT would not capture.
